i'm having problems with IE 7, it doesnt seem to open at all. somehow it seems to have lost some files and will not let me re-install it. i also cannot remove it causing it to revert to IE6 because of the missing files.

it's really bugging me

Hello Tarry Welcome to PCHF

Have you tried downloading an Internet Explorer 7 installer and installing it that way? Internet Explorer - Reviews and free Internet Explorer downloads at Download.com

Check out this link from the MS Knowledgebase to see if there is any help there - How to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer in Windows XP

Here is another link - Repair Internet Explorer - HERE Is The Information YOU need!

Hopefully one of those solutions will help you!
